Raspberry Chocolate Truffles
Oh Boulder, how I love you, but this week I'm in Malibu, and I must say … a person could get used to this. I'm here for a little bit of Dessert Diva work and a whole lot of Dessert Diva play — they tend to be one and the same most days of the week, and I'll take it...
Fresh Strawberry Cake with Chocolate Drizzle
